of Rev. Mr.. Meek last Sunday morn
ing. Mr.. Mcmillan has the faculty O
interesting his hearers, even in al
address designed to appeal to thei
pockets.
During the storm Friday afternoon
lightning struck an evergreen tree il
front of the residence of Mr.. DAME
LaDu, in. Brimfield, reducing it t.
kindling wood in short order. Frag
ments of the tree were thrown agains
the house, breaking number of lightl
of glass, while others were scattered il
every direction.
We understand that P. III. Bean sold
last Tuesday, to parties from Cleve-
land two colts. three years old, fol
Sl2I0, and two, two years cid, for 500
each, and one sucking colt for $500
all sired by Beams horse, Smuggler.
Mr.. Bean and Son left today fol
Columbus to act as statesmen at thu
great shorthorn sale of that State.
If the chap, or any other biped, thai
throws orange, banana and lemon pee
on the sidewalk could be the only
victim who incautiously stepped upon
them, it might lead him to reflect on
the uncertainty of some things, among
which the results of stepping upon
this treacherous garbage would not be
included.
The concert of the Philharmonic
Society, given at the Opera House last
Thursday evening. was not a success.
The audieuce was small and the raging
storm outside kept those who did at
tend in a state of constant anxiety not
calculated to make the entertainment
enjoyable either to them or the per.
formers. The Society loses money by
their venture.
Quite an exciting scene occurred on
the public square Saturday afternoon,
when q couple of gentlemen INDUCED
in the pleasant pastime of saying
liar" TO each other. AS the blows
the shoulder, no dangerous wounds
were received on either side.
Miss Lena Durff, of Mantua Station,
is still doing business at her accus.
toned place, in the Colt Block, up
stairs, and has purchased a complete
stock of Millinery Goods. Those de-
string stylish work done, and TO pur-
chase their goods at the most moderate
prices, will do well to give her call
before purchasing elsewhere.
The Grand Jury, during session of
six days, examined over l20 witnesses,
ignored four complaints, and returned
% indictments, as follows: Five fer
in the first degree, five for
shooting with intent to kill, these all
being against McMunn and his gang
one for maliciously biting the nose,
one for assault and battery, four for
and six for selling to minors
and keeping open Sunday.
After May 18th trains and IL on
5hs N.Y.P.&O. will run between New
York and Chicago by the way of Buf.
'alo. leaving the main track at Hor.
1ellsville, N. Y. and striking it again
1t Jamestown, and vice versa. This
will make it convenient for those who |
wish to visit Buffalo, as it will avoid |
my transfer.
A small audience was in attendance !
1t the performance of the Boston Star
Company, Saturday evening. The
stormy weather and the fact that we |
nave had a number of amusements |
Turing the past few days, combined to
Keep great many from attending. It |
was well known that their entertain
nent would be among the best, and |
deserved better patronage.
w. F. Stein and wife are visiting the |
family of J. 8. Smith, intending to |
remain until the 1st of June, when
they will take their departure for their
future home, Los Angeles, California,
the mild climate of that State being
more congenial to Mr.. Stein than the
lake winds of the Forest City
where he has been located since leav-
ing Ravenna.
Rev. Mr.. Slutz delivered the third
of his interesting and instructive lee
lures on Future Life, at the M. E.
Church, Sunday evening last. He
confined himself mostly to the my
thology of the Greeks and Mohame,
dams, finding much in the teachings
of Plato. which the enlightened
Christian of today may endorse. Mr..
Slutz finds the subject 80 broad that
he is unable to confine himself to the
number of lectures at first proposed,
and will therefore deliver at least two
more upon this theme.
The two auctions of carriages last
drew great many people
to town, and both sales were we'll at.
tended. Mr.. Thompson made splen-
did display of goods in his line, and
purchasers had only to select any ar.
ticle in the stock and it was sold to
the highest bidder, and many bargains
were secured. 1t is safe to say this
market will not present any great at.
traction for dealers in cheap carriages
for some time to come.
